Looking for feedback on this line at my local 2/5.

http://goo.gl/Zn9RAd

I would have been a wizard had the flush run out, I feel like the turn was the place to stop, but the 250 almost gave me odds when I considered the 4 a winner as well as the flush and MAYBE an ace if he was on kk or kq.

Really appreciate any feedback as I'm just starting out taking shots at 2/5.

Welcome to the forums. You're missing some stuff though. Did you have any information about the villain at all? Also, I'm not a fan of that type of hand history. It makes it tough to find the relevant action, plus it gives you the results which tend to bias answers, but I'll try my best anyways.

The flop raise was maybe a bit on the small if that's how you want to play it. Your draw isn't as great as it looks since your A outs aren't very clean. On a wet board like this it's easy for people to put you on a draw when you raise, so I thin maybe a flat is best. I know hindsight is 20/20, but if you don't make this raise, you probably win this pot on the river.

The turn improved your hand slightly because you just picked up 4 clean outs to the nuts. Your comments about Aces being outs don't make sense, since the board is TJQ. His bet prices you in, so I'm fine with the call.

The river barrel is where reads are probably at their most important in this hand. If you've seen this guy make any bad calls at all, there's no way I'm doing it. If he seems to have a fold button, the board seems just scary enough that you can probably rep a K OK. It's very read dependent. In general though I think the pot is too big and your remaining stack too small to really push him off a lot of his hands.

On the flop you need to either flat call or raise more. Your raise is big relative to his bet but his bet was less then half the pot and there is already one call. When you make it $120 there is $277 in the pot and the $85 for them to call is only 1/3 the pot. If villain's have a sense of pot size your not going to get a lot of folds.

The turn doesn't really help you, it adds 3 kings to your outs but your 2 ace are more likely dirty. Plus, you get paid nothing on the river if a king comes and you have the best hand, with 4 to a very obvious straight even a set might fold. Calling is still right. If you knew villain had a set your not quite priced in but against his range of hands your doing OK.

I'm not inclined to bluff river. The 9 is an ugly card for villain and the shove bluff is situational and villain dependent. However, the flop reraise is usually a very strong hand and villain will be checking here to let you bluff a lot. Sets and straights that figure you never call a bet with worse and they can't fold if you bet so they might as well check and let you try to bluff.

As said previously, make it larger on the flop, around $185.

How we react to his raise on the flop is very read dependent. If he can three bet here with AA or KK, I'm shoving. Otherwise we need to assume we are on a naked flush draw and make sure we have the right price to continue.

Looks pretty standard. The only thing that I'd say is that the flop click back is pretty much always going to be what he showed up w there so if you feel like he can't fold that getting 3:1 than just give up even tho you got the ultimate river scare card without making your hand.
